FASTEST DRUMMER CHAMP DRUMS HIMSELF INTO THE MASS MEDIA

East Hanover, NJ, August 21, 2005 - Who does one of the leading
communication companies, Comcast, call on to represent their High-Speed
Internet Service on a commercial? World's Fastest Drummer Champ, Art Verdi.

In the last few weeks, Art has been featured in the leading drum magazine,
Modern Drummer, in which he was described as having a "frightening fast"
single stroke roll; contacted by a major radio station to appear; and flown
down to Florida to display his blazing drumming speed on the Comcast
commercial. Art also has his own segment, "Art's Corner", on the popular
Drum Radio Show at Drumradio.com, where he assists drummers in obtaining
optimal control and speed.

Art has received most of his recent recognition through his major conquest
with the World's Fastest Drummer Organization (the WFD), which was created
by Boo McAfee and Craig Alan; Art was the first person in history to break
1,100 strokes in 60 seconds.
